US EditionCapcom Drops Monster Hunter Wilds Patch That Aims to Improve Optimization for 'Steam-Specific Processes' and Address Long-Standing PC Issues
- Capcom dropped Patch 1.040.03.01 for Monster Hunter Wilds recently to improve optimization for "Steam-specific processes" and fix CPU load spikes at the Support Desk in Base Camp and Grand Hub, requiring installation for DLC and online play.
- The PC problems originated from a DLC and 'unclaimed content' status check causing frame drops, with a Reddit user flagging the bug that Capcom is fixing in its January PC-specific follow-up.
- The update introduces specific technical changes, including CPU/GPU processing improvements for Steam, shader warming reduction, High Resolution Texture Pack , and recommended NVIDIA GeForce 581.57 or newer and AMD Radeon 25.9.1/25.9.2 drivers.
- Despite fixes, community reactions range from major framerate gains to continued dissatisfaction, while Capcom says Patch 1.040.03.01 should resolve hub-area drops and denies DLC ownership affects performance.
- Looking ahead, Capcom's roadmap and financials show plans for further improvements in Ver. 1.0.41 on February 18, 2026, as Wilds surpasses 11 million units sold.
